Life is full of ups and downs
And ins and outs
And all arounds
It can be so chaotic
We almost get psychotic
But Jesus changes evrything
The joy and peace I found
Keep my life real sound
He loves me oh so much
And I can feel His touch
Do you know Him and His grace
Do you know His love today
If not, dont wait
It’s not too late
Ask Him in your heart today
And bid chaos goodbye!
In response to the daily prompt Chaotic
What if I was to tell you that joy could be yours
Unspeakable joy ever day
No matter what trials and tests come along
This joy never goes away
What if I was to tell you that peace could be yours
A peace the world can’t understand
Instead of the worry you now dwell upon
This peace is at your command
These blessings and more can be yours
Divine blessings from God up above
If you’ll call on His Son
And accept He’s the one
Who redeemed you from sin with His blood.
What if I was to tell you that hope could be yours
A hope everlasting and sure
Instead of wondering what tomorrow may bring
This hope will always endure.
What if I was to tell you that healing was yours
From all of your aches and pains
When your body is hurting and nothing will help
This healing will sooth your complaint
His power to forgive
His mercy that gives
His grace everlasting and true
All these are His gifts
And they are yours if
You accept that He died for you
What if I was to tell you that love could be yours
A love that defies human thought
This love reaches down to the depth of your soul
It’s a love that can never be bought
These blessings and more can be yours
Divine blessings from God up above
If you’ll call on His Son
And accept He’s the one
Who redeemed you from sin with His blood.
It’s hard to explain
This joy I have inside
It makes my disappointments
Run away and hide
When sorrow tries to come
I tell it to subside
Because the joy I have from Jesus
Will constantly abide
It’s hard to comprehend
This peace I have attained
When trouble comes my way
It never causes pain
When fear tries to surround me
I tell it to refrain
Because the peace I have from Jesus
Will constantly remain
What a Savior
What a friend
Jesus is to me
Giving Hope
Giving mercy
He is all I need
Answering my prayers
Always guiding me
Wonderful Messiah
Jesus is to me
Impossible to know
The depth of His great love
He showers it upon me
From heaven up above
It overflows my spirit
There is more than enough
I’m so glad He gives me
His unfailing love
And then there is His greatest gift
His Amazing grace
It forgives me when I falter
And lifts me when I praise
I’ll look to Him each morning
In hopes too see His face
I’ll never turn away from
His amazing grace
What a Savior
What a friend
Jesus is to me
Giving Hope
Giving mercy
He is all I need
Answering my prayers
Always guiding me
Wonderful Messiah
Jesus is to me
I sit and wonder why, Lord
Do people not choose thee
When they hear you’ve paid the price
From sin to set them free
Down here they feel so happy
And they think it’s the best
But if they just choose you today.
They would be richly blessed
In this life they party
Thinking all of life’s a game
If you would fill them with your joy
They’d never be the same
And when the party’s over
And the happiness is gone
They sit their all alone and wonder
When some peace will come
But I can tell them truly
That the peace that Jesus gives
Will permeate their soul each day
As long as they shall live
You ask me how I know these things
So I’ll tell you here and now
‘Twas not that long ago my friend
That I refused to bow
I loved the party life at night
But hated waking up
My mind was filled with torment
My thoughts were so corrupt
It took at least 10 times
For me to head His call
But when I did, He kept His word
And gave to me His all
He blesses me each day
With His presence, oh so sweet
He fills my heart with joy
Happiness just can’t compete
His peace is so remarkable
It soothes me every day
And His love is unforgettable
He walks along my way
But most of all His mercy
Is always reaching me
And His grace is so amazing
As it works to keep me free
You see it really is no contest
What the best life is
So why not turn your life around
And make your heart be His.
I need to find a resting place
Where troubles will all cease
It seems the daily battles rage
And I can’t find His peace
I long to find a resting place
Where healing will be mine
It seems this worn out body
Gets sorer all the time
I hope to find a resting place
Where doubt is cast aside
Where faith is all that rules
My heart and soul and mind
I’m searching for a resting place
Where I can dwell in peace
I need a calm, assuring voice
To end my worried speech
And when the day is over
And my rhyme is almost done
A small voice whispers in my ear
And now I can rejoice
Jesus is the resting place
That I am longing for
In His arms your comfort waits
Come and make Him yours
He’ll heal you and deliver you
And peace will flood your soul
And soon you’ll find a quiet rest
That soothes and makes you whole
Come into the resting place
Where peace is alt for you
Jesus is the resting place
He’s there awaiting you.
I’m running Lord
Running to you
Over the trials
I have to go through
I’m listening Lord
Listening for you
Speak to my Spirit
So I know what to do
I’m waiting Lord
Waiting for you
Bring me healing
When the time is good
I’m searching Lord
Searching for you
I’m lost in the way
But I’ll make it through
I’m ready Lord
Ready for you
To take my hand
And draw me to you
I see a lot of people
Who panic at the news
That fills our ears and eyes most every day
It seems the world’s in chaos
And nothing comes out right
Killings, bombings, protests are the way
But I know a secret
To rid myself of fear
And every time it works just like a charm
I simply trust in Jesus
And He fills me with peace
He says He’ll always hold me inHis arms
So when you’re feeling panicked
And your trouble way to much
Why not turn to Jesus Christ for peace
He always is the answer
And He will never fail
To calm your soul and fear will be released

We all live our lives the best that we can
Trying to leave some mark on the land
When our time is done and our life is at rest
Our bodies are laid in the ground
The graves are all marked with a stone of some kind
With some words written to keep through time
And the dates of the life of the person are there
Separated by a dash of a line
That dash is now sandwiched between birth and death
All of your life is wrapped up in it
What does that dash say about you?
That is the question we one day will get.
So let’s make a sandwich that touches our friends
That reaches beyond to incredible ends
Don’t let that dash just be a small line
Let it bring joy and peace through the land
In response to trh daily prompt Sandwich
I can see it in your eyes
That bright shining twinkle
That comes form knowing Jesus
Knowing His love
Knowing His joy
Knowing His peace
Knowing He has removed your sin
As far as the east is form the west.
Knowing He’s preparing a mansion for you
And your home is eternal in heaven
What a wonderful j]knowledge that is
It builds up inside us
And puts a twinkle in our eyes.
